It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...

I know for a fact that a lot of boards out there are thriving because of how many people are there. We just need to get back into the game and pull people here. However, where we obtain these people might matter, because we don't to end up pulling in douches like those at Selkath.

I understand that people are busy these days, but it doesn't seem like they're rarely at their computer anymore. I know most of you are still dicking around with your computer. I don't know how we …

Happy New Year OT! We may be dying... BUT WE'RE STILL HERE! We had an... interesting year last year. Vice Admin Burkman is taking a long earned vacation and Uly is stepping into his position. Well... I'd have more to say but I've got other things to do atm... and oh yeah... to quote Callin... "GET A MIC YA BUM!"

The History Channel...

Apparently, aliens are in everything! You pooped and it looks funny? That turd can be looked at in a particular light and then it resembles an image on a plaque in King Tut's tomb which was built under the Orion Constellation, which was sacred to Ancient Egyptians... Coincidence? I think not! So the only logical explanation? ALIENS!Monty Python would be proud...

Anyways... I've found that most shows on the History channel not involving rednecks shooting alligators, white trash trying to buy storage units or guys getting ripped off in a Vegas pawn shop, somehow lead to the involvement of aliens or free masons, or the Illuminati... Bonus points go to shows that make a connection between a variety of those...

Maybe Burkman's leg is actually pregnant with a xenomorph, that's why he is suffering so much (no offense Burks). That means Burk is now an ALIEN! (But since he is Batman, he can just beat the shit out of the aliens, be their leader and conquer the galaxy)

I enjoy informational stuff on History Channel. Like How the States got their Shapes and United Stats of America. Hatfields & McCoys was good. The Art of War was good. I like the occasional Modern Marvels.

But yes Ban, that alligator shit is freaking annoying. I haven't had the chance to watch Vikings yet but I've heard its good.

I'm not talking about the alligator shit/ That's... it's own palette of weird...It's the excessive use of "ALIENS!" as a "valid" excuse/example/explanation for pretty much everything... Oh, some dude from 4500 years ago painted a guy wielding what could loosely be interpreted as a stick on fire, due to the degradation of the paint and missing parts of the tablet it was made on? Well, it's OBVIOUSLY an alien with a lightsaber!

The Moon landings had the ulterior purpose of establishing communication with an alien race because there's segments of the video/audio missing from a linkup with a range of roughly 384,399 km? Yes... Aliens is the obvious conclusion! It must me, right?! I mean... It's not like there was any delay, or the thing was taped and said tape has degrades, or anything... Or they didn't bloody fucking record for as long as the mission... Yes... Obviously the Apollo program was assisted by aliens... That's why it took them 11 tries to get it right...Oh, there were former German scientists working on the Apollo program? Of course they were contacted by aliens! It's not like they were the most experienced in their field or anything...

I'm fine with a conspiracy thread. I enjoy reading about conspiracies.

This isn't a conspiracy thread... It's about the... arguable degradation in History Channel quality shows...

Hi... nice to meet you... have you watched the History Channel for the past 20 years? They've had excessive alien/UFO/Bigfoot shows since... well as long as I've had memory. I know this because my grandmother is obsessed with them (yeah she's one of THEM). Switch to Discovery I say... just skip over all the animal shows.

That aside occasionally History Channel DOES put out some interesting specials.

I don't deny their good shows... Hell, I even enjoy that pawn shop stuff (cause you do learn quite a bit of interesting stuff)...

And it hasn't been 20 years... They only started... excessively making "ALIENS!" shows the past two, maybe 3 years... Even since that Mayan thing became mainstream popular... And it really peaked last year (end of the world and all)... Yes, there were Bigfoot shows and the odd "Have we been visited by aliens" stuff, but they never outright relied on "ALIENZ!" as their main explanation for... pretty much everything...

I really find it funny how they're still broadcasting shows that are about how the world is to maybe end on 21.12.2012...

In their defense, they have to keep coming out with hour long episodes because there are people who are just sucked in to all of it. And the point of the show is to see a different perspective. Sometimes they make good points and sometimes I just scream how stupid they are at my tv.

Refering to the bigfoot comment, I was watching a Monsterquest about Bigfoot being in the Sierra Mountains.... a commercial comes on... telling me the Sierra mountains are a great vacation spot....

I don't mind the pawning shows, but to me, it just feels like that's all they ever show nowadays.

Science channel for the win.

I have issues with the Science channel... the how it's made show is alright... but a lot of their actual science shows a) are way simplified (there are a few exceptions) and b) are either biased (not explaining all evidence for other theories) and/or erroneous (mostly because the person that's doing the narration doesn't understand what he's telling us.

Well I only watch the Science channel for Morgan Freeman's Through the Wormhole.

Anyways, yeah. The Bible miniseries was pretty good (although it did have some misinformation from the stories in the earlier episodes) and I liked Hatfields and McCoys. I have yet to watch Vikings. Honestly I don't mind an occasional conspiracy theory but there's too many.
